Our User Management REST API now includes registration, authentication, CRUD operations, authorization, search, filtering, and pagination.

The following table summarizes the endpoint design.

Method	Endpoint	Authentication	Purpose
GET	/health/live	No	Liveness check
GET	/health/ready	No	Readiness check
POST	/api/v1/auth/register	No	Register account
POST	/api/v1/auth/login	No	Authenticate user
GET	/api/v1/users	Yes	List users
GET	/api/v1/users/:id	Yes	Retrieve user
POST	/api/v1/users	Depends on policy	Create user
PUT	/api/v1/users/:id	Yes	Replace user
PATCH	/api/v1/users/:id	Yes	Update user
DELETE	/api/v1/users/:id	Admin	Delete user

In a production application, avoid exposing unrestricted user creation endpoints if registration is intended to be the only account creation mechanism.

The endpoint policy should be consistent with your actual authorization rules.
